This puzzle:

Notepad: In the print version of today's puzzle, some of the horizontal rules of the grid are not solid all the way across. They appear broken, for reasons relating to the puzzle's theme. Specifically, the horizontal rules under the following squares are not solid:Row #3 -- under squares 5-7Row #5 -- under squares 9-13Row #8 -- under squares 6-10

JimH notes: Here's another example of a crossword with an unusual visual element that Across Lite can't reproduce. Hence, the convoluted notepad. The print version had no notes.
